[David Rogers]

Well, as I know I’d do something (more) stupid on something with an engine I’ll be getting back onto my bike of the pedal variety this summer.

Was planning on doing it for the past while as I’m tired of being a tad lardy in the middle and wish to avoid already having middle-age-spread before I hit middle age.

Had this for ages – still in very good nik. A few changes of running gear but otherwise a nice ride.

Derek the first thing I thought was your poor hip when I saw the pix on the first page. After seeing the Xray I would concur with your wife.

Phill you need to manscape.

Derek

[Warren Beard]

I’m also on the non motorised variety, haven’t taken this out for a while but went out today for the first time in a few years and was great, still very unfit and 4 stone heavier than I arrived in UK but hopefully this year will get me back in it and shed it all off again 😉 curse you British for your great food and extremely large range of desserts, chocolates, cakes and biscuits 👿 (hot)

Nice helmet Derek shame some idiot borrowed it off you for a race and landed face first on it smothering it in claret haha sure I have some pics before I trashed it!

[Steve Newell]

Nice to see some great bikes on here

Derek, I would stay off bikes or your wife will do the same to the other hip. I know mine would!

Neil, you had my perfect garage. Nutter sportsbike for a weekend thrash and a GS for everything else. Nice. I’d swap the kids.

Mike, you had a lovely chopper 😮

To the guys with pushbikes, get an engine 😀

[Matty Goodwin]

John, your second bike looks like my perfect ride…Any details can you forward them to me….

[Mike Grant]

I took my bike out today for the first time in months. Had starting issues with it and the weekend it went into the garage to get sorted I had my p ussy cat altercation. So 1.5 months down the line since then I decided the sun was shining and the bike was calling. Glad to say both the bike and the hand were up to the job. Just have to be careful and avoid emergency stops as my pinkie power is still not 100%. 😉

Nice Helmet Phil 😮

Are you taking the pith!

Phil, what have you been eating, there is a strange object hanging out of your ar$e

Laurie and I took our Granddaughter Vienna out yesterday for a look see at bikes….

[Craig Brown]

This was my bike – bottom 2 pictures (I say was as it was nicked 6 weeks ago)…not that I’m bitter and twisted about it but still waiting on insurance before replacing it

The 990 Adventure was sold to fund the 690R but I can feel another 990 coming my way soon 😉

ST1100. The perfect bike.

Equally at home scratching around the lanes, or gobbling up the miles crossing Europe. 😀

[Phill Fenton]

Here’s a picture of me from a few years back when I used to enjoy the odd burn up with a bird up on my bike 😕

[Mike Grant]

Pan European….hmmmm been looking at those a lot lately! 😉

Phil, you look so different with your glasses off!

Yep! lovely bike! Mine as over a hundred k on it and still going strong.
The only real issue with this bike is the exhaust ie price of, And the swing arm which tends to go,

Hi Rob,

This is my 4th KTM (Orange)- the last one was a 690 Enduro (single cylinder) where as this is a 950 V-Twin…far to much for me to handle…but I’m going to enjoy trying 😉

[Robert Lambie]

good for you mate… i love bikes, but i stear clear of the ones with engines… ide kill myself, too much carry-on in my head. :lol1:
was considering buying a jet-ski for this summer, but same reason, had second thoughts. hired a large one out in ibiza last year and hammered the life out it on the sea. loved it… but again, i need to wisen up before i kill myself. so ill make do with my push bike. 🙄 :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:

[Jill Marie Welsh]

Yeah but Rob the thing about Jetskis is driving around with and having to back up that pesky trailer.
😳
I once had a stranger back me up at a ramp in Florida, he watched me trying for 10 minutes and couldn’t stand it anymore.
I was crying and very grateful for his help.
😀
I hate Jetskis and trailers too!

[Steve Smith]

Here are my two latest bikes. Since retiring from Grasstrack and Speedway sidecar racing I still had the urge to have a bike for fun, the Yam was great but Wifey hated it so had to go 😥 . I then saw a Harley advertised localy at a good price, so now it’s ‘life in the slow lane’ for me. Wifey tolerates the HD, but would rather I stuck to a car 🙄

Dave is probably off somewhere taking matters into his own hands after those pix.
Cheryl, I just love the last one.
So ladylike and demure, a very classy photo.
I envy you your free spirit. I can’t even drive a car properly.
Or a bicycle.

I think I might be a wee bit behind but here’s my bikes, past and present:

my first ‘big’ bike, 2005 sv650’s’ at cadwell park…

then I went onto an sv1000s in anniversary colours (2005)

and then recently I picked up an SRAD 750 (1998)..

[Peter Mindham]

Had many over the years but this is the current steed. Useful for european trips and the commute from Torquay to Market Harborough

Nice bikes Paul….Cadwell shot loks like coming out of Mansfield?

You still doing track days?

quote Roger Clements:

I *think* it was the left hander in the left-right turn before the mountain but I don’t know any of the names for the corners lol. That’s the only track day I’ve ever done (had only been riding about a year) and as the fast group was full, all the mentallists on fully race prepped bikes decided to flood the ‘novice group’. A guy on a ducati nearly had me off as he was trying to keep with his mates, so that put me off doing one for a while.

I’m alot quicker/more confident now and the 750 SRAD keeps encouraging me to book a trackday – it handles so well and is powerful enough to entertain without being over the top like the gsxr1000’s. Will prolly go to cadwell again as it’s not too far and it’s really quite challenging 🙂

[Anthony Woodsford]

had four meself

still got two, the bandit and thundercat- but the bandits up for sale as im sick of tripping over it

onyl got photos of two that arent bmps without digging my archive folders out!

thundercat has definatly been the best bike – 25k miles in 7 months. oh yes.
